WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU WANT

If you ask me, "What kind of man do you want?" I won't say tall...I won't say rich... I won't say perfect. I'll say, A man who protects my heart. Who makes me feel chosen, every single day. Who never lets silence feel like punishment. Who never makes me doubt my worth. Who never becomes the reason behind my tears. That's it. Not luxury.. Not perfection. Just kindness.Just safety. Just love that feels like home.

He doesn't need a title, a degree, or a bank account. He just needs to be genuine, to be present, and to care. He needs to understand that my heart is fragile, that my trust is earned, and that my love is a gift. He needs to be the one I turn to, the one I lean on, and the one I feel safe with. No grand gestures, no over-the-top declarations. Just a quiet, steady love that says, "I've got you." That's the man I want. The one who sees me, hears me, and loves me for exactly who I am.

It's not about being needy or dependent; it's about being valued and cherished. It's about feeling like I'm home, like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be. It's about having someone who knows me, flaws and all, and still chooses me, still loves me, and still wants me. That's the kind of love that makes life worth living, that makes every day brighter, and that makes every moment sweeter.

CHARACTER

Vidya dadati vinayam,

Vinaya dadati paatrataam,

paatratva dhanamaapnoti,

dhanaat dharmam tatatsukham.

Education gives Humility,

Humility gives Character,

from character one gets wealth,

from wealth one gets righteousness,

in righteousness there is joy.

This shloka is part of the ancient Indian text, the Hitopadesha, which was composed by Narayan Pandit. The core message is that true education or knowledge is a holistic process that leads to a virtuous and fulfilling life.

HEAL AND RISE

Be brave enough to heal, even when it hurts. Healing isn’t easy, it’s messy, painful, and uncomfortable. But staying broken is far worse.

Pain doesn’t go away when ignored. It seeps into everything, draining your joy, and leaving you stuck in survival mode. Healing means facing that pain, letting yourself feel, and choosing to grow through it.

You don’t have to have all the answers right now. Just don’t give up on yourself. You deserve to feel whole again. 

One day, you’ll look back and realize the pain was temporary, but the strength you gained is forever.

Staying broken was never an option. You were always meant to heal. You were always meant to rise.

HAPPINESS

Happiness Is An Inner State Of Being 

We were always taught that our happiness is dependent on something or someone. When we achieve our goal or when we make people happy then we will be happy. Our focus therefore was always to make others happy, because we thought - only when they are happy, will we be happy. Very often we could be under stress, angry or in pain, but we try to make others happy. Let us remember we can take care of family and friends, do everything for them physically, but emotionally we will only be radiating pain, because we are in pain. To give happiness to them, we have to be happy within. 

Let’s clean our thoughts, clear our emotional blockages and create a happy state of inner being, because only then can we radiate happiness to others. It’s not – we will be happy, when they are happy; truth is – if we are happy then we will give happiness to them. 

Let’s check how many times today we say I will be happy when ….. and change it to I am happy while …. Work towards creating your own happiness independent of the outcome.

Vaishnavites sing Tiruppaavai, sung by the legendary Aandal - one of the twelve Alwars,  and the Saivites sings, Tiruvempaavai, sung by Saint  Maanickavaachakar, one of the sixtythree Nayanmars. Both these immortal hymns belong to  the  form of poetry called PAAVAI,  signifying  maiden  girls seeking divine intervention for securing worthy husband's.Pavai Nozhumbu, Gopika worshipped maa katyayani to get lord krishna as a husband. The other important occasions are Aarudra or Tiruvaadhirai, and Vaikunta Ekadashi.Love and relationship Spirituality Margazhi Nombu.

AN EMPTY CHAIR

Every evening at sunset, an old man placed two chairs outside his small house—

one for himself, and one left empty.

Children playing football often wondered why he waited for someone who never came.

One day, a boy named Ethan finally asked, “Sir, who is the empty chair for?”

The old man smiled gently.

“When I was young, I went through a very difficult time. One evening, a stranger saw me, brought out a chair, and said, ‘Sit. You look tired.’ He didn’t ask my name. He didn’t expect anything. He just gave me space to breathe. That small act saved me.”

He looked at the empty chair beside him.

“So now I keep a chair ready for anyone who might need it—someone tired, lonely, or overwhelmed. If they ever walk by, I want them to know there’s a place for them.”

And people did stop.

A woman who had lost her job.

A student stressed about life.

Someone who simply needed a moment of quiet.

The old man never asked questions.

He just shared silence, warmth, and presence.

Soon, others in the neighborhood began keeping an extra chair outside their homes too.

A simple wooden chair became a symbol of compassion.

Moral:

You don’t need much to help someone.

Sometimes, the smallest space you create for others becomes the biggest kindness they receive.

BALANCE

This simple teaching carries a powerful truth.

Most of the suffering in life doesn’t come from the things themselves, but from our relationship with them. Too much of anything — even something good — becomes harmful.

Power becomes poison when it turns into control.

Comfort becomes poison when it turns into laziness.

Food becomes poison when it turns into indulgence.

Ego becomes poison when it blinds you to truth.

Ambition becomes poison when it destroys your peace.

Vanity becomes poison when you forget humility.

Fear becomes poison when it stops your growth.

Anger becomes poison when you hold it too long.

Buddhism teaches the Middle Way — balance in all things.

Not too much, not too little.

Not suppressing, not overindulging.

Just the right measure that keeps the mind steady, the heart open, and life in harmony.

Poison is not always a substance.

Sometimes it is a habit, an attachment, or a mindset.

Wisdom is knowing when enough is enough.

Balance is the real cure.
